When we fake an ecosystem, we remove the larger discipline at the edges that lets true ecosystems thrive. Conversely, as I've pointed out, Facebook's pseudo-platform is totally imbalanced - in favour of developers, at the expense of connected consumers.
The www is the platform - the problem with closure, in the edgeconomy, is removing the selection pressure at the edges that drives true, durable value creation.
